strange. I notice that everytime I trim my plants, a few of my shrimps will die 1 or 2 days later.

I heard about nana but the plants I trim are hornwort only.

Might be due to plant sap after trimming and IQ3 is quite small, therefore water perimeter might be hard to control...

Bigger tank might have better control over trimmings and water perimeter.. This is just my views but other experts might give more insight on this...

Yeah I think so too. Everytime I trim the plants, immediately I notice the shrimps dun eat well. So if I trim, shrimp dies, if I dun trim my plants it becomes a jungle.

You can try trim a little at a time.. Then do little water change to see if there is any improvement...

But overall still hard to do trimming if tank is too small..

(upgrade? Lol)

I always buy from That Aquarium or OTF where I can pick my own because my small tank I dun have the luxury to buy in bulk. Always top up a few new shrimps at one time
